HBM4EU chromates study: overall results and recommendations for the biomonitori...
Santonen, Tiina; Porras, Simo P.; Bocca, Beatrice; Bousoumah, Radia; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Galea, Karen S.; Godderis, Lode; Göen, Thomas; Hardy, EmilieExposure to hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] may occur in several occupational activities, e.g., welding, Cr(VI) electroplating, and other surface treatment processes. The aim of this study was to provide EU-relevant data on occupational Cr(VI) exposure to support the regulatory risk assessment and decision-making. In addition, the capability and validity of different biomarkers for the assessment of Cr(VI) exposur...
HBM4EU chromates study: usefulness of measurement of blood chromium levels in t...
Ndaw, Sophie; Leso, Veruscka; Bousoumah, Radia; Rémy, Aurélie; Bocca, Beatrice; Duca, Radu Corneliu; Godderis, Lode; Hardy, Emilie; Janasik, BeataOccupational exposures to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can occur in welding, hot working stainless steel processing, chrome plating, spray painting, and coating activities. Recently, within the human biomonitoring for Europe initiative (HBM4EU), a study was performed to assess the suitability of different biomarkers to assess the exposure to Cr(VI) in various job tasks. Blood-based biomarkers may prove useful w...
Particulate matter indoors: a strategy to sample and monitor size-selective fra...
Bergmans, Benjamin; Cattaneo, Andrea; Duarte, Regina; Gomes, João F. P.; Saraga, Dikaia; Ródenas, M.; Querol, Xavier; Liotta, L.; Safell, J.Particulate matter (PM) is an important player in indoor air quality. Even though PM limit values are in force for more than a decade in Europe and reference methods are well in place for ambient air, measuring indoor PM concentration still remains a challenge and standardizing a measurement protocol is complex. As people stay most of their time indoors, indoor PM is of great interest in terms of public health,...
Advanced instrumental approaches for chemical characterization of indoor partic...
Duarte, Regina; Gomes, João; Querol, Xavier; Cattaneo, Andrea; Bergmans, Benjamin; Saraga, Dikaia; MAGGOS, THOMAS; Di Gilio, Alessia; Rovelli, SabrinaParticulate matter (PM) is an important player of indoor air quality and a topic of great interest in terms of public health. Deciphering the complex chemical composition of indoor PM is critical to understand the association between particles components and a wide range of adverse health effects. Over the last decades, advanced analytical instrumentation has been produced capable of providing various levels of...
